Jesus himself gave us this mission when he said, \"Go therefore and make disciples of all nations\" (Mt 28:19). Yet it is far too easy to get caught up in the day-to-day details of our work — so much so that we can lose sight of our true mission.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Heart of the Mission: Simple Ways to Bring People to Jesus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, Cande de Leon shows what it takes to get back on track. With wisdom and humor born of his own experience, he shows how our Christian mission always begins and ends with people. To help us live this in our daily life and work, he guides us through three transformational principles for ministry and life:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStrengthening relationships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoldly growing engagement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConnecting people to the mission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhether you are a pastor, part of a parish staff, or a volunteer at your home parish, these principles apply to you. Because if we really want to make transformational change in our Church and our world, we first have to recognize the people in front of us — who they are, what they need, what gifts God has given them, and how he is inviting them to participate in the mission of the Church. Not merely another program to transform your parish, this book offers a simple yet radical invitation to roll up your sleeves and make a difference by getting back to basics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCande de Leon has served as executive director of the Office of Mission Advancement for the Diocese of Phoenix since 2016.
